Hey anyone here with the 500nits 100% adobe RGB 4k display option? Can you check what the model number of your panel is on hwinfo, I believe Dell sent me an m15 with the older 100% sRGB 400nits display, just wanted to confirm my suspicions

both short and long are set @110w when you turn on OC. when it's turned off short is @65 and long @95. The standard Intel TDP specs.
If you don't have a need it's fine. 3.7 ain't bad that's hellaquick (i'm a tweaker and i tweak the shhhht out of all my electronics that i use) but for me personally i wouldn't be happy when i bought something and it can't be used @100% even though the price i paid was 100%.

but to each to his own, if i set a speed to stay locked, it should stay locked. There shouldn't be some c*ncer firmware that decides what happends with my laptop (while i'm the owner of the bloody machine !!). But we probably use very different software packages and have different needs. I for example cannot buy an gamelaptop/DTR with a locked down chip. Cause performance degrades over the years (like what happends with intel after al the mitigation patches have been installed) and when it degrades, i just OC my CPU or GPU a bit further down the road when the performance is needed. Apart from my GPU my CPU can last me a few years (3/4) or so, but i'm feeling that my 1080 is only going to give me joy for two more years before the games that come out cannot be played @1440P with unlocked frames.

luckily we have the option for the amplifier, but this is my first BGA laptop and i'm already tired of it (actually my R4 was the first BGA laptop i bought, but then it broke down on the last day of my warranty so Dell upgraded me to the R5)

After this, it's PGA AMD CPU in a laptop, or else i'm moving to an desktop.

8950HK in an AW 17 + LM makes sense. Too bad Frank Razer killed that and AW15 off At least there is the A51m in the 17" department, for those who don't need much battery life, but now with m15 R2 they no longer have a viable portable 15 inch model.

Haven't payed to much attention to it. during the last CB run i've used the performance profile on AWCC and with XTU i've set 75W on both short and long Turboboost. Got a flat line on the trend with CPU boosting constantly at 3.9Ghz on 6 cores without throttling. I'll check out onto it with more attention and let you guys know.

Yep, def getting some mileage off your LM!

in the R4 it was needed already, and the 17 inch chassis is quite bigger than the 15 inch. the 15r3 throttled way sooner than the 17r4, same as the 15r4 against the 17 r5. Sadly AW went Off track and went full retard oh i mean Apple on a "gaming" laptop. they won't get my precious $$$.
